MODERATORS
He was put back in the race because he had a 5 sec penalty, which as far as the commentators were saying would have caused a grid place penalty for the next race, since he didn't finish the race.
To mitigate that he was brought out for two laps.
To do what? Why? They are first. What could they possibly achieve with sergio driving this bad? They've become constructor champion mostly without him.
He just has an off season. There is only one person to blame for it, his name is Sergio. Not Marko. Not Christian. Not Max.
Leave the mind games where they belong, at Mercedes. Today once again showed how it really works over there. Russel got shanked, gutted. Destroyed. Again.
Russell wanted to stay out for longer which caused him to have older tyres followed by cars with newer tyres.
He wanted to try what Carlos did with Lando giving tow to Hamilton to prevent Carlos from overtaking both. It was not possible since by having older tyres he was slower and would have made both of them slower leading to both being overtaken by Carlos. Hamilton was asked to give a tow to Russell the next lap which he did give but Carlos was already next to Russell, therefore he failed to benefit. In Singapore there are very few places to overtake which is not true in Suzuka.
There is something called situational awareness. Russell might learn in the future if he keeps his head clean.
Last week, when Carlos and Lando were the ones with older tyres, the plan worked though. That was why it was so impressive. It’s a bit embarrassing that two drivers from different teams can work together better than the two Mercedes drivers.
That was Singapore, a street circuit with no place to overtake. This was Suzuka, plenty of places to overtake.
